"Everything Everywhere All At Once" is a cinematic miracle...

Its not only the best film of 2022 by far, its one of the greatest films of all time. This is the best original film IP, that I have seen or experienced, since the first Matrix film came out in 1999 ( for different reasons of course ). Now it shares a spot in my Top 5 films of all time ( right alonside The Matrix actually ).

I can't say the film is for everyone, as I've already seen some saying they "walked out" of the film or "The film sucks" or "its overrated" or "Its ass". These people are completely missing the incredible storytelling and social commentary of the film. Its a Multi generational family drama, that is placed inside of a euphoric, wild, insane, action packed, and visually stunning multiverse film.

The films deeper story and meaning, touches on real life subject matter and themes such as LGBT, Depression, the curse of comparison, family trauma/relationships, Existentialism, Nihilism, and Asian-American identity. Michelle Yeoh leads an incredible cast of people, who bring this storytelling masterpiece to life.

As someone that has been a fan/mark for Michelle Yeoh, since first watching her 1985 martial arts classic "Yes Madam", along eith all of her Hong Kong work in the 80s & 90s. This is the magnum opus performance of her career and that is saying alot! It would be the stunning robbery of the year, if she's not walking home with an Academy Award for Best Actress.

All in All this is all time great cinematic film, that deals with alot of real life subject matter and delivers one of the most insane and emotional trips in decades ( and for sure should win Best Picture ). An easy 5 Stars and then some...

I have seen a lot of new shows make their debut on network TV, Premium Cable, and of course streaming services like Amazon and Netflix. But this... Phenomenal show, imo best new show of 2016. The whole cast is excellent but Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers deserves Emmy Award consideration next year. Her being a Hollywood actress i expected great but this was masterclass character work. Winona has had some exception performances over two decades but this was one of the best of her career, maybe top 5 in her career. Also the performance from child actress Millie Brown as El aka Eleven is also amazing and is the 2nd best performance behind Ryder. This isn't the first show of this current generation to try and capture a artistic, creepy, and psychological noir style of an 80's film vibe... but unlike the others it nailed it perfectly. The first season is literally flawless in all phases ( only the snarkiest of reviewers and critics will find something to nitpick ). This is a must watch for everyone. Season 1 was only 2nd to Person Of Interest's 5th and final season on my "Best season of any show this year" List.

There it is, after five outstanding seasons of unique story telling, Person Of Interest reaches it final series chapter. From the moment the Series Finale started i was teary eyed before the opening. Return 0 was a morbid lesson in the value of human life, as well as truly understanding the meaning of death itself. Honestly finding out one's true self in their final moments of living. Like every series finale with any show, people will find a way to say "The writers should have done this or the writers should have done that". For a classic science fiction series that was sadly cut in half by a piece of work network like CBS, this was beautiful story telling in its finest. For my money it was perfect, Samaritan threw the biggest punch it could throw in a last ditch effort for survival and in the end it won and lost at the same time in many ways. The performance from everyone, Sarah, Amy, Jim, Michael, Kevin, all were fantastic as we followed team machine for one final ride. Return 0 concluded the Series of POI perfectly, while also keeping hope alive ( I won't spoil how ) of a reboot or spin off years down the line of Nolan and company ever wanted to explore this surreal world they have crafted over 5 awesome seasons. What marks the end of my favorite television series of all time... Thank You
